Abstract: 

This paper uses best practice research, supported by regression residual analysis and quantile regression, to examine the factors or practices that provide advantages (or disadvantages) to issuers when negotiating the sale of municipal bonds. It asks which strategies are particularly effective when negotiating with underwriters and which factors determine why bond interest rates differ among issuers.
